“David was very good with Dagger. He played with him and took him on little walks around outside the house. He did what we asked and did a good job of taking care of our dog. Thanks again David!”
“Janine is a dog whisperer! Our rescue dog has anxiety when it comes to meeting new people. Janine followed our detailed instructions when meeting our dog. Before long our dog was feeling comfortable with her. Janine is patient, kind and her love for dogs is obvious. She showed up as requested, taking great care of our dog. We will be sure to contact Janine again in the future!!”
“Amanda was amazing and professional. She sent lots of pictures. Dogs eating, playing, etc... it was fantastic the way she worked and cared for our pups. Her summary of the visits were great to read how they are doing in real time. Thank you so much for your heart and professional. We can't thank her enough.”
“Justina did an excellent job caring for our three cats while we were away. She provided frequent updates and amazing photos that gave us peace of mind and showed that our fur babies were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was clear she took the time to make sure they received plenty of attention and care during each visit. We came home to three happy cats and felt completely confident that they were in good hands while we were gone. We highly recommend Justina and will definitely be booking with her again in the future! 🐾💕”

He has a calm temperament, follows commands well, and gets along great with other dogs and people. I was the primary caretaker for my family dog for 3 years, including potty training him and teaching him multiple tricks. Caring for him gave me hands-on experience with routines, walks, play, and making sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for.

When taking care of pet in clients home or mine I follow their routines feed accordingly and I love to provide plenty of exercise, walking, and play time and any updates throughout the day
About: There’s no better company in this world than that of a good dog! I've been pet-sitting and dog walking for friends and neighbors for over a decade, and have extensive personal pet experience as well (of the mostly furry variety). I would love to spend time with your fur babies, and vow to treat them as if they were my own. I have extensive education under my belt to better care for your pet, including classes in dog CPR and first aid (Academy of Canine Educators), Zoo Science (animal enrichment), as well as Dog Emotion & Cognition (Duke University) and Dog Behavior Solutions (ASU). Your busy schedule does not mean your buddy has to be alone all the time! Let me help you give them the love they deserve :)
“Emma was absolutely fabulous. So attentive to our elderly dog's needs and extremely communicative. She is such a gem - we feel so fortunate to have had her watching over our favorite furball while we were away!”
“Tetiana was fabulous! She communicated prior to the check-ins to ensure she had all the details about the dogs covered. She followed all of our instructions, stayed the entire visit to play with the dogs, and sent updates and photos. At the end of the visit when she left she gave one final update on the dogs to let us know how they were throughout the trip. I came home to two happy puppies worth every penny! I would highly recommend her if you are I need of someone caring and detail oriented to look over your dogs.”

About: My name is Nestle & I am a certified dog trainer through animal behavior college. I have been a dog trainer for 10 years. I train all breeds even Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, German Shepards, Cane corsos etc. For training I always use positive reinforement. I also teach basic obedience as well and work with any dog with any issue. I used to work at Petco for 4 years so I am knowledgeable about nutrition, pet products, pet care etc. I also have experience in grooming. I have experience working at 2 doggie daycares as well. I also used to volunteer at an animal shelter (peaceable kingdom) and walk the dogs there. I currently have 6 pets I have a sun conure, crested gecko, 2 leopard geckos & 2 dogs (Bichon & Maltese). I have been working for rover for over 3 years. I am an animal lover. I have a 6 year old who is also friendly with animals. I have experience with all types of animals all are welcomed! My goal is help others in need and save animal lives. I work part time at a family owned jewelry store and they are all pet lovers as well. I have a flexible schedule and we are usually closed for holidays. When I go to a clients house to walk their dog or just do a drop in I make sure everything is taken care of. Pups come first and I always ask the client if they need anything additional done around the house. I don’t mind cleaning or helping out. I can take care of other animals such as hamsters, Guinea pigs, reptiles, birds, fish, etc. before leaving a clients house I make sure all doors are locked, the pups are good & settled and the home is secure before heading out. For clients to feel comfortable I do take lots of pictures and videos of their pup and if they want to FaceTime their pup I’m fine with that too.
About: I’ve grew up around German shepherds since I was 5 and I’ve always found to love just playing and taking care of them. I am good with taking care of dogs with high energy and even anxious dogs as well. Im very patient to each and every dogs needs and that not every dog needs the same care. My goal is when you see your dog again they feel happy, safe and loved while I’m caring for them I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and can also provide care on weekdays, especially after 12 PM. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. I have a safe and welcoming home where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I have one older, friendly dog who is used to being around other animals. Since my yard isn’t fenced, I make sure pets are always supervised outside and safely leashed when needed. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and crate time if needed. My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care.
About: Dog owners will definitely love the fact that I am dog owner myself and equipt to most dogs. I do not have exact experience from someone hiring me to take care of their pet,but I did have three dogs within a decade of my life. My animals ranged from a whole lot of fish to 6 guinea pigs to a bird to 3 dogs. Currently raising two 12 week old puppies. So I am a animal person. I would say that I am home all day to take care of my two small pups Max and Brody. I do have a good amount of time with each dog I am taking care of at the time. I would say my specials skills with animals are I try to talk to them and also try to calm them down. I do have a part time job that work the evenings mon-wednesday, Friday- Saturday schedule so I am limited at night, but during the day I can provide care for any pet here on Rover. I would make sure that everything they are taken outside that if you would have a gate that it would be closed and locked and also help secure a nice play area for the pet.

I am pretty much free any time as long as I have a days notice I care for my pets at home like they are my children. Make sure they get all the attention they want when they ask for it & make it easier on my older dogs. I’ve just built a ramp for my girlfriends dog to get in & out of bed easier & make sure she eats at a routine that she is used to with her meds included
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them. I have experience caring for pets with different routines and personalities, and I know how important it is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a slower, cozy day, I’m happy to match their energy and routine. I’m dependable, patient, and will always care for your pets like they’re my own — plus you can expect plenty of photo updates along the way! I’m currently full time as a radiologic technologist with St. Luke’s. I normally work Tuesdays & Wednesdays 8-4p, Mondays & Thursdays 8-8p. If a Thursday or Monday is needed I could rearrange my schedule to accommodate if needed. Fridays I’m off and I’m available Saturday’s and Sundays when given enough notice. ☺️ When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely while making sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. I understand that pets are often most comfortable in their own environment, so I work to create a calm, safe, and positive experience while you’re away. I also make sure your home is treated respectfully and kept clean and secure. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pets are happy and well cared for.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Allentown
I was really nervous to have my 2 cats pet-sat for the first time, but there was no reason to be! Justina was awesome, and my cats loved her, even the fickle Siamese one. 😂 During the 9 days my husband and I were gone, she provided liberal amounts of photos and updates. She also left our house clean and tidy afterwards. We will definitely use her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Allentown is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $36 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,428 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Allentown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
